It's a known problem that got past me when developing 0.6.0.  The fix  
is trivial: The problem lies in the frameworks Resources/English.lproj/ 
Localizable.strings file.  I would recommend opening the 'master'  
framework version (likely /Developer/Local/Frameworks/ 
RegexKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/ 
Localizable.strings) with Xcode and use Xcodes find and replace in  
Regular Expression mode searching for the regex "$ (quote dollar- 
sign).  Each line is required to end in a semi-colon, and this will  
find all the lines that end in just a quote, you'll need to add a ;  
semi-colon to those lines.  As I recall, there's about three to four.

Once fixed, you'll need to rebuild your app so that the fixed version  
is copied in to your apps bundle.  That should clear up the problem  
for you.  If it doesn't, another possibility is that you're running  
Safari AdBlock and running in to an oddity of how input managers work.  
You'll need to copy the fixed version of Localized.strings to /Library/ 
InputManagers/Safari\ AdBlock/Safari\ AdBlock.bundle/Contents/ 
Frameworks/RegexKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/ 
Localizable.strings
